Sociologist and/or Antropologist of Science?

Pierre Bourdieu’s standpoint about from which epistemological position to investigate the scientific knowledge does not fully correspond to either a sociological perspective focusing on structural determinants or to an anthropological angle focusing on the inherent logic of a research and the narratives of the actors. The realist-constructivist opposition does not work either in case of Bourdieu. Even though scientific knowledge, truth, objectivity are constructions defined by the functioning of the scientific field, but the knowledge that is the legitimate product of the field cannot be called mere construct, since its—even if temporal— truth is guaranteed by the specific functioning of the scientific field.
